Jack Miller revealed that a broken rear brake bracket left his Yamaha "too dangerous to ride" through a fast corner during the Assen sprint. He said it was the fourth time he's had this same issue.
The rear brake bracket coming loose? At Assen's high-speed corners, that's life-threatening. In a place where you're balancing on the feel in your foot, not just your fingers, having no rear brake is pure terror. That it's happened a fourth time is the real problem. Miller held it together and finished -- I might have pulled in.

The same issue happening four times gives the impression the team's been playing catch-up on fixes.
The rear brake bracket failure - I wonder if the timing and pattern were similar across the previous three incidents.
Sounds like the load concentrates in the same spot on high-speed corners each time, so there could be a fixed design weak point.
When reliability issues keep piling up like this, it's bound to shake the rider's trust in the machine itself.
Mir's phrase 'too dangerous to ride' really conveys just how serious the situation was.
Four times is honestly too often to chalk up to coincidence - feels like there's an underlying design issue.
